GENERAL NEWS SUMMARY.


BERLIN, Oct. 23.-The official press in
its denial OF the report that the
Gear was to have meeting with the EN-
peror William, speaks very plainly and
almost with enmity towards Russia. The
interview Is declared to be not mere
matter Of Indifference, but as objected to
by high personsges in Germany. The
personal relations between Gear and En-
peror William, once such an important
factor in European politics can no longer
continue
ON THEIR OLD FOOTING
of intimacy, IS the position OF Germany
toward her allies, Austria and Italy, for
bids it. The snti-German proclivities Of
the Czar are contrasted with the lifelong
friendship OF his father with the Emperor
William and his people, and the conclu
sion is drawn thst an interview would be
unpleasant to both sides. Besides this
strongly suggestive comment there IS
evidence of the strained relations
between Berlin and ST. Petersburg. The
Russian press censor permitted the pa
pers to predict such early action by Rus
sia in BQ 'gsris as would defeat the object
of the triple alliance and show that Rus
sia is neither isolated nor incapable of
carrying out her victorious policy. The
PanslGvist papers are having free play in
DENOUNCING The GERMANS.
The Cars route for returning to Rus
STA Is subject daily to surmise, as it is
considered unadvisable that he touch
German soil, and the frozen Baltic may
make his homeward march unpleasant.
Yesterdays route fixed was Rega or Lioan
If the ice blockaded CroBstedt. Any
way it is declared the Gar must not pass
through Germany. The war between
Russia and Germany has had fresh devel-
opmenS in the Cars ukase giving En-
glish and French importers preferential
rates, English goods obtaining re-
mission of twenty per cent because Eu-
gland levies no duty On Russian corn,
and French goods ten per cent rebate be-
cause OF the limited duty levied By France
on Russian corn. The obvious aim OF the
edict is to strike blow
AT TEE GERMAN TRADE.
To these evidences of hostility are low
added the increased military prepars-
! tiOns on tie frontier. A notable Cessa-
sion occurred in this during the progress
of the negotiations between Prince Bis
msrck and NJ. de Giers for an entente on
| the Austrian question, but since the triple
| alliance became known there has been q
! feverlsh acceleration Of the work on the
| fortifcations at Warsaw, Ivangorod and
| Brest LIttOrsk General GouTka is TO or.
ganize Tn immense camp near Warsaw.
New Notifications are also being made
around Povno, Grodno and Bieiostoch
TIE same activity is noticeable along the
| AustIian frontier. The Gzrmsn val
Office responds by enlarging the camp e.
Greudeuz, constructing six new forts
around Thorn and strengthening the
works at Poseu, Glogan, Pialan anc
Knnigsburg. The energies OF the WA
office are st present concentrated on
TIE EASTERN FRONTIER.
Regarding Prlnc9 Bismarck's reply to
the new prohibition of German trade, i
will be seen upon the meeting of the
Reichstag that in the bill raising tbs
duties on corn the attack is to b'
resumed. Russian securities have cgsil
been offered indiscriminately for sale
The present result of this tension in re
lstions Is On increased bitterness an(
eumity between the two peoples. The
Russian press prophesies that importan
diplomatic action will be taken By TIT
Cars government soon after his return
to Moscow. These menaces, however
do not alarm Germany, which is confden
OF her own strength and security in tn
triple alliance.
The Emperor will go with huntinI
party to the Harbe mountains on Tues
day, but the doctors have protested tina
such an excursion will be injudicious IN
less the weather gets milder. After ar
irving from Baden yesterday the Empero
looked as usual at the window at tn
palace and saluted the crowd outside
He walks without stick and his ste
seems to be more elastic. At Bsrenoy
tie Crown Prince Is slowly improving
The Inflammation in his throat does nc
increase. He will so to Mervo st the en-
OF the month.
